You’re throwing a party. That means thinking about the guest list, the menu, the theme, the décor–and of course, how to be green while doing it all.
The event industry creates the second largest carbon footprint. So much waste can certainly put a damper on the celebration, so green-minded party planners across the nation are teaching both corporations and private citizens how to cut down when they’re throwing a party.
Green Right Now has enlisted the help of two party planners that specialize in hosting green events, Chrissy Gray, owner of Green Events in Laguna Beach, Calif., and Lenny Williams, owner of Garden Party NYC in New York, as well as the help of green guru and author of Simply Green Parties: Simple and Resourceful Ideas for Throwing the Perfect Celebration, Event or Get-Together Danny Seo to tell you all you need to know so that your next celebration is just as eco-friendly as you are.
